Psalm 106
1¶ Halelu-JAH. O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever.
2Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can show forth all his praise?
3Happy are those that keep judgment and he that does righteousness at all times.
4Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou dost bear unto thy people; O visit me with thy saving health,
5that I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
6¶ We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedly.
7Our fathers did not understand thy wonders in Egypt; they did not remember the multitude of thy mercies but rebelled by the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9He reprehended the Red Sea also, and it was dried up, so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
10And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
12Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.
13¶ They became rash. They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14They gave themselves over to lust in the wilderness and tempted God in the desert.
15And he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16Then they envied Moses in the camp and Aaron the saint of the Lord.
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.
18And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19They made a calf in Horeb and worshipped the molten image.
20Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eats grass.
21They forgot the God of their saving health, who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things upon the Red Sea.
23Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath lest he should destroy them.
24And they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his word:
25But murmured in their tents and did not hearken unto the voice of the Lord.
26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness,
27to overthrow their seed also among the Gentiles, and to scatter them in the lands.
28They also joined themselves unto Baalpeor and ate the sacrifices for the dead.
29Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions; and the plague broke in upon them.
30Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed.
31And that was counted unto him for righteousness from generation to generation for evermore.
32They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33Because they provoked his spirit to rebel, and he spoke it with his lips.
34¶ They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them:
35But were mingled among the Gentiles and learned their works.
36And they served their idols, which were a snare unto them.
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils
38and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
39Thus they were defiled with their own works and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41And he gave them into the hand of the Gentiles, and those that hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43He delivered them many times, but they rebelled at his counsel and were brought low for their iniquity.
44Nevertheless he would look upon their affliction and hear their cry
45and remember his covenant with them and repent according to the multitude of his mercies.
46He also caused those that carried them captives to have mercy upon them.
47Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the Gentiles, that we might lift up thy holy name, that we might glory in thy praise.
48Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting; and let all the people say, Amen. Halelu-JAH.

Psalms 106

Psalm 106
1Praise the Lord.#106:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah; also in verse 48
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures for ever.
2Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord
or fully declare his praise?
3Blessed are those who act justly,
who always do what is right.
4Remember me, Lord, when you show favour to your people,
come to my aid when you save them,
5that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,
that I may share in the joy of your nation
and join your inheritance in giving praise.
6We have sinned, even as our ancestors did;
we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
7When our ancestors were in Egypt,
they gave no thought to your miracles;
they did not remember your many kindnesses,
and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.#106:7 Or the Sea of Reeds; also in verses 9 and 22
8Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,
to make his mighty power known.
9He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up;
he led them through the depths as through a desert.
10He saved them from the hand of the foe;
from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.
11The waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them survived.
12Then they believed his promises
and sang his praise.
13But they soon forgot what he had done
and did not wait for his plan to unfold.
14In the desert they gave in to their craving;
in the wilderness they put God to the test.
15So he gave them what they asked for,
but sent a wasting disease among them.
16In the camp they grew envious of Moses
and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the Lord.
17The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan;
it buried the company of Abiram.
18Fire blazed among their followers;
a flame consumed the wicked.
19At Horeb they made a calf
and worshipped an idol cast from metal.
20They exchanged their glorious God
for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
21They forgot the God who saved them,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22miracles in the land of Ham
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23So he said he would destroy them –
had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach before him
to keep his wrath from destroying them.
24Then they despised the pleasant land;
they did not believe his promise.
25They grumbled in their tents
and did not obey the Lord.
26So he swore to them with uplifted hand
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
27make their descendants fall among the nations
and scatter them throughout the lands.
28They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor
and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;
29they aroused the Lord’s anger by their wicked deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.
30But Phinehas stood up and intervened,
and the plague was checked.
31This was credited to him as righteousness
for endless generations to come.
32By the waters of Meribah they angered the Lord,
and trouble came to Moses because of them;
33for they rebelled against the Spirit of God,
and rash words came from Moses’ lips.#106:33 Or against his spirit, / and rash words came from his lips
34They did not destroy the peoples
as the Lord had commanded them,
35but they mingled with the nations
and adopted their customs.
36They worshipped their idols,
which became a snare to them.
37They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to false gods.
38They shed innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was desecrated by their blood.
39They defiled themselves by what they did;
by their deeds they prostituted themselves.
40Therefore the Lord was angry with his people
and abhorred his inheritance.
41He gave them into the hands of the nations,
and their foes ruled over them.
42Their enemies oppressed them
and subjected them to their power.
43Many times he delivered them,
but they were bent on rebellion
and they wasted away in their sin.
44Yet he took note of their distress
when he heard their cry;
45for their sake he remembered his covenant
and out of his great love he relented.
46He caused all who held them captive
to show them mercy.
47Save us, Lord our God,
and gather us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
48Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say, ‘Amen!’
Praise the Lord.
